A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using the Java Print service to produce postscript stream output all fonts
are rendered as shapes rather than using standard postscript fonts.  This
causes any 'print' file to be extremely large and the processing excessively
slow.

REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 6u43

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the attached program and inspect the file out.ps

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The resulting postscript file is small (about 2KB) and the text string "example string" is rendered with the postscript command "<6578616d706c6520737472696e67> 87.12001 250.0 250.0 S"
ACTUAL -
The resulting postscript file is large (about 12KB) and the text string "example string" is rendered as shapes.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
